Washington/New Delhi: A demonstration by pro-Khalistan Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) outside the Indian Embassy in Washington on the occasion of the Republic Day turned out to be a flop show with tricolour-waving Indian Americans outnumbering members of the fringe group.
Sources in New Delhi on Sunday said the demonstration by SFJ on Saturday was a flop show attended by around 15-20 people. “They were completely outnumbered by flag waving, enthusiastic and patriotic Indians.”
“This demonstrates the hollow claim of SFJ that they enjoy wide support,” the source added.
“They are a fringe group backed by Pakistan, clearly bringing out the nefarious design of Pakistan to stir up trouble.”
According to the sources, most of the demonstrators were Pakistanis.
“SFJ’s claim on their website that they burnt an Indian flag outside the Embassy is completely false,” the source said.
“The claim is intended to cover up for their flop show.”
Twitter suspends SFJ’s account after tricolour burning stunt
Meanwhile, Twitter has evidently suspended the account of the SFJ after the tricolour burning stunt they pulled in front of the Indian Embassy in Washington.
On Saturday, the account page ‘@SikhsforJustice’ displayed the message “account suspended”. The social media company has, however, not given out a statement explaining the reason for suspending the group’s account. It, however, provided a link that directs to a page displaying their rules with one disclaimer stating that the company will suspend accounts that are in violation of any of its rules.
From this it can be inferred that the social media giant suspended SFJ’s account for their hate campaign against India.
